Abstract
A vehicle control system for controlling a vehicle having a body, a pair of front wheels, and a pair of rear wheels, including a body-height adjusting device which adjusts four body heights each of which is defined as a relative-position relationship between corresponding one wheel of the pair of front wheels and the pair of rear wheels, and the body; and a brake-operation-force control device which controls respective operation forces of a pair of front-wheel brakes and a pair of rear-wheel brakes that restrain respective rotations of the pair of front wheels and the pair of rear wheels. The brake-operation-force control device includes an operation-force lowering portion which lowers, when the body-height adjusting device is adjusting at least one of the four body heights, the respective operation forces of at least one pair of brakes of the pair of front-wheel brakes and the pair of rear-wheel brakes, as compared with the respective operation forces when the body-height adjusting device is not adjusting any of the four body heights.
